A  toast  to  Virginia,  Gud  l)l(>ss  ]wr\ 

Tlio  motlier  of  lieroe^  ainl  States! 
Confusion  to  liini  who'd  op])ivss  her, 

And  dcatli  to  the  tyrant  that  Jiatcs  ! 
Maylionor  and  gh)ry  attend  her, 

And  victory  come  when  s];e  (.-ills     - 
Till  every  armed  foe  sliall  surivudei-. 

And  peace  reign  again  in  lier  halls! 

And  here's  to  George  Washingtmi '      staiidin 

Tliongli  cold  at  Mount  A^'rnon  his  elav. 
His  si)i]-it.  lier  armies  command ing. 

Still  lives  in  Viigijiiji  to  day; 
'Tis  the  hreath  of  tlie  hrave  Old  iJominiou: 

The  soul  that  will  never  depait:  - 
It  breathes  in  each  nolde  Virginian, 

And  huins  in  each  true  Southei-n  Iieart! 

Then,  hiothers  till  high  with  oiimtion! 

Our  days  may  he  many  oi-  few: — 
Still,  pledge  we  a  life-long  devotion 

To  principles  honest  and  true! 
Whatever  our  fortunes  may  he,  men, 

This  toast  let  us  cherish,  each  one: 

''To  Virginia,  the  mother  of  freemen ; 

And  Washington,  Liberty's  son!''
